When Aston Martin presented its new sports car, the DB 4, at the London Motor Show in 1958, visitors almost forgot to breathe, the English manufacturer's new model looked so indescribably beautiful and elegant. A top international product had been created here. From 1961, the DB 4 was also available as a convertible, hardly less elegant, but much rarer with only 70 examples produced. This report describes the history and special features of the Aston Martin DB 4 Convertible and shows a particularly rare example with a Vantage engine in the picture.
